LONDON, UK: This year’s BDIA Dental Showcase saw over 350 exhibitors demonstrating their latest innovations at ExCeL London. Chief among these was Philips Oral Healthcare, which announced a new partnership with mydentist, Europe’s largest dental care provider.

More than 650 dental clinics in the UK and Ireland will be stocked with an exclusive and jointly branded portfolio of Philips oral health products from November 2018 onwards in accordance with the agreement. These include the company’s Sonicare range of electric toothbrushes and Zoom! take home tooth whitening kits, augmenting the 70 practices currently offering Zoom! chairside tooth whitening.

Introduced 25 years ago, Sonicare remains the number one sonic toothbrush brand recommended by dental professionals worldwide, according to Philips. The company also said that Zoom! is clinically proven to whiten teeth by up to seven shades with little to no additional sensitivity.

“Our clinicians are at the frontline of oral care and prevention and we wanted them to have the lead role in selecting the brands and products they believe in,” commented Dr Nyree Whitley, Clinical Director of mydentist.

“Philips is a leader in oral healthcare innovation and well-respected in the industry. Working with them and our clinicians, we have been able to put together a market-leading professional range with exceptional value for money compared to high-street retailers,” she explained.

Robin van Rozen, Managing Director for Personal Health at Philips UK and Ireland, added: “At Philips, our mission is to improve the lives of three billion people a year by 2025. To achieve this, we, of course, need to continue to innovate in both the consumer and the professional health spaces. However, we also need long-term partners to develop relevant solutions that address challenges in the market. We are delighted to be working with mydentist, not only to bring products and solutions to market, but more importantly to work together to improve the oral health of the nation.”
